GOP 2026 Campaign: Hold Democrats Accountable

Everything from their lawfare to their gerrymandering is a call for total control.

Jim Davis | May 18, 2026

The Republican Party’s campaign theme for 2026 should be, “Hold Democrats Accountable.”

This campaign should read like a harsh prosecution of the Democrat Party Deep State (DPDS) for its political offenses which Democrats, all the way down the ballot, view as features of their party, not bugs. Republicans must make them own it.

The Democrats’ 2028 presidential candidates are a joke.

According to the latest poll, AOC leads with 26% — followed closely by Pete Buttigieg and Gavin Newsom. (Kamala Harris has fallen to 13% and may not get past the starting gate.)

● Every Republican underestimates AOC’s celebrity cuteness, because that's all she’s got. Her Green New Deal is political toxic waste. She consistently takes the 20% end of every 80/20 issue.

● Buttigieg is a homosexual who failed as mayor of South Bend, Indiana. He became part of the Autopen Committee for a few years, with an extended “maternity leave.”

● Governor Hair Gel? He’s eviscerating California for illegal aliens, homeless people, “endangered” species, and criminals. Billionaires, corporations and all others who can afford it have already packed up the U-Hauls and fled. His taxes are among the nation's highest, his schools' educational achievement is below Mississippi's, and his environmental mismanagement led to wasted water and water shortages, Mexican sewage fouling the state's south coast, and at least three cities burning to the ground. And he wants to go nationwide with this?

Also, consider Abdul al-Sayed, Zohran Mamdani, Karen Bass and Graham Platner; the DPDS Minor League players are even worse.

Democrats tell a lot of lies.

If lies were buildings, the Democrats could build the entire New York City skyline with their huge, towering lies.

I’ve itemized a lot of their lies in previous columns, but the most salient ones are:

● “Russia collusion,” ● “Hunter’s laptop is Russian........
